At Egg Donors UK, we make sure your egg donation journey fits around your busy lifestyle. We know frequent clinic visits are part of the process, so we’ve made it easier for you by allowing many of your appointments to be at a local centre. Here's how it works.

We conduct your initial consultations, blood tests, health checks, and scans locally in York, so you only need to travel to our central treatment hub in Manchester for specialist appointments.

  • You'll undergo a blood test to check your Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels and blood cotinine (nicotine) level.

Ultrasound Scan
